\"\"<\/a>The next thing you can build in the Nintendo Labo Vehicle Kit is a submarine controller.\u00a0 I\u2019m not gonna lie, I\u2019m not sure I can describe this one very well.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if it works like a real submarine because I don\u2019t pilot those very often (or at all, really).\u00a0 And I don\u2019t play very many submarine games either.\u00a0 The only one I can think of is when Yoshi transforms into a sub in Yoshi\u2019s Island, and you know THAT\u2019S realistic!\u00a0 Anyway, so let\u2019s take a look at the submarine controller you can build and what it does.<\/p>\n

As my brother Jeff and I were building this, I was also knee deep in playing Mega Man 11 at the time.\u00a0 So when I saw this work-in-progress of our cardboard controller, I thought to myself, \u201cOh my gosh, Labo uses the Double Gear System!\u00a0 Did Dr. Wily invent Labo?\u201d\u00a0 I know only people who have played Mega Man 11 will get that.\u00a0 Anyway, here\u2019s a picture of what I saw so you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sub controller does use gears, but I think they only do that to give the controller a clicking tactile sensation as you rotate the knobs on either end.\u00a0 There are also holes, but they\u2019re only there so you can see the inner workings of the mechanism.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a bigger shot of the completely built controller.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So in Adventure Mode, when you\u2019re driving around the island in the car, you may come across some areas with water.\u00a0 Like the beach, lake, and small island areas.\u00a0 When you drive the car over the water, you\u2019ll just float and move very slowly.\u00a0 But if you take the cardboard key out of the steering wheel with the JoyCon inside and move it to the sub controller while in the water, your car will transform into a submarine!\u00a0 You use the knobs on either end of the box to rotate propellers on each side, and the gas pedal to make them spin so you can move.\u00a0 So it\u2019s like tank controls except in 3-D space.\u00a0 Turn both propellers behind you to move forward, in front to move backward, and down to go up and up to go down.\u00a0 And like a tank, turn one propeller in front and one to the back to turn sharply.\u00a0 The controls are a little difficult to get the hang of, as they aren\u2019t as intuitive as steering or flying controls.\u00a0 But you won\u2019t be using the submarine very often in Adventure Mode as there is only about 3 areas out of 10 that have water you can go in.\u00a0 There is also a button on the box that shoots out a grappling hook you use to latch onto things and reel them back to you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all for the submarine controls!\u00a0 Tomorrow we\u2019ll look at the last thing you build: a flight stick for the airplane!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
